WHAT IS MYOPIA?

Shortsightedness is the most common eye problem in the world.

Myopia (short sightedness) is an extremely common eye condition which generally allows close objects to be viewed clearly but distant images are blurred. The eye is its own optical system and for it to work perfectly light must enter the eye via the pupil and be focused on the retina. In a myopic (short sighted) eye the focusing system is not perfect and the light is actually focused in front of the retina so by the time the light does actually reach the retinal surface the image is blurred.
